are you lost?

[wirtoverthegardenwall]

Hello, my name is Wirt, it's nice to meet you! After being cursed by The Beasts foul lantern, I've come to live in the Unknown and become a Spirit Guide for those lost along its winding paths

Some go home from near death experiences, others move on to their afterlife, and others still decide to stay. What will your journey be, I wonder?

Rules

1. No NSFW

2. Unless we've discussed doing multiple RPs at once, let's try to keep it to no more than two at a time please

3. Multiverse/mutliship

4. OCs welcome

5. No bigotry

6. DMs before long story RPs

I prefer paragraph roleplays and long running storylines but will happily do short RPs as well!

Asks/RPs for other characters on my list are welcome

Charactors I Play

Wirt (he/they): the main character. Cursed to have his soul stuck in the lantern, he lives alone in a cabin in the woods. Works for Death and helps them by guiding lost souls where they are meant to go

Enoch (he/xe): the black cat from Pottsfield, mayor of the town. Very kind hearted, tends to act as a father figure to Wirt. Cares very deeply about his townspeople and will do anything to for them. He is very powerful. He enjoys gardening and long walks

Inn Keeper (she/her): the keeper of the Inn. A little crazy but very kind and will give anyone food and bed if they need it. Loves music and baking

The Woodsman (he/him): a gruff old man who knows much about the forest and its odd ways of being. Always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. Enjoys long talks by firelight and coffee, black

The Woodsman's Daughter (Margret) (she/her): very shy young woman who is very kind. Loves animals and painting

OCs:

Frank (they/he): an ex to Wirt. Very volatile and a mess of emotions. Doesn't show up much because of Jackson

“Kid, I will pay you cash money if you promise not to play that instrument within ear shot of me again.”

Wirt frowned, looking down at the bassoon in his hands. "I knew I wasn't very good but...am I really that bad?" He looked up at Stan, looking a little heartbroken and very sad.

[ask-mister-mystery]

Stan pauses before considering his next words. He could easily crush the kid here mentally. Stan might have done this without thought in the past, but after the summer spent with Dipper and Mabel, he was more reticent towards sliding back in to his old, sometimes callous nature. Even if it was a dorky teenager with a tenuous grip of musicality.

“Look kid, I’m just not a fan of much music. Full stop. Don’t matter if it’s you or the chairman of the board himself, I prefer my days to be quiet. Unless I’ve got the TV on, I usually have to have that turned way up.” He shrugs.

“Who are you even meant to be playing for?”

[wirtoverthegardenwall]

Wirt listened as Stan spoke, deciding that maybe he shouldn't have taken his words so personally.

When Stan asked who he was playing for, Wirt frowned and glanced around. No one but him and Stan were really around right now.

"I mean, I guess I was just practicing?" he said, looking at Stan. "But I could also have been playing for you, since you're here."

[ask-mister-mystery]

“So is that all you do? Sit here and practice that thing? Are you like some kinda woodland legend I ain’t heard of….the bassoon boy or something?”

Stan looks around at the wooded glen they’re both in. No-one around. No signs of the outside world. He didn’t even remember how he ended up here, truth be told. It all seems something of a blur…

“Can you at least let me know how I get out of these woods?”

[wirtoverthegardenwall]

Wirt frowned slightly. He hadn't anticipated having a lost soul today, usually his lantern would warn him. Oh well.

"That's complicated," Wirt answered, standing up from the stump he had been sitting on. "Tell ya what, let me take this back home and I'll answer all your questions, yeah?"

Wirt frowned, looking down at the bassoon in his hands. "I knew I wasn't very good but...am I really that bad?" He looked up at Stan, looking a little heartbroken and very sad.

I honestly and truly believe all good AUs should be a little “”””ooc”””” in the sense that good characterisation involves understanding that changes a characters backstory and circumstances will have an effect on how they respond to the world around them

Good characterisation isn’t about creating a perfect 1:1 canon replica it’s about understanding why a character is different in your work and about grounding the changes you do deliberately choose to make in canon character traits

#big fan of putting people into situations #and seeing how that changes them #I can believe a lot of supposed ooc behaviour if you show me how you got there (x)

Finally posting Guardian of Souls! The release of this series has weird rules, which I'll explain quickly

I will post 4+ chapters every fall, the last chapter will always be published on Halloween. There will be a year break between each release to give me time to write each segment. There will be a large time gap between each release as well and each one will focus on an important time in Wirt's life in the Unknown

Anyway, here it is! Enjoy!
